Chapter 216 - Negotiations

Anaya had this unique smile on her face from when she was about to go to fight and she said to her wife : "My love, I believe a battle is inevitable."

Celia still felt a bit mentally drained after having left her divine door open for so long, not to mention the huge amount of universe energy she had had to provide to these pentagrams to fully fill them up.

Fortunately, Anaya was in a better state than she was, the use of the golden dragon hearts hadn't consumed any of her chakra at all, it had only caused physical fatigue which could be easily restored with the lake water.

Aiden, who had picked up back Basile for this trip, said : "We may not need to fight, let's try to negotiate."

Anaya looked at him puzzled and said : "What do you want to negotiate ?"

Caleb replied : "It's going to be very simple, I will say to them 'give up and join me on Inferno, or die right here and right now."

Celia chuckled thinking Caleb was joking but he looked more than serious, so she asked him : "Are you really going to threaten them, when they are four to five times the number of us ?"

Caleb had a creepy smile on his face and said : "Absolutely, we're taking Basile with us for the negotiations."

Celia did not even have the time to protest that already Caleb, Daniel and Aiden who held Basile in his arms headed for the enemy army.

They stopped halfway waiting for the leaders of this army to join them.

Aiden took this opportunity to whisper in Basile's ear : "Sorry my little one, I need you, your mother is not fit to fight right now, and even if we can probably defeat them, there will be necessarily casualties on our side, we were not prepared for such an army."

He felt Basile's hand on his cheek and even though he was facing an entire army of demons he smiled like an idiot, he was finally going to see his man again.

Aiden found himself again in this room which was starting to be familiar to him and Basile was standing in front of him, he looked worried.

He immediately took him in his arms, these moments were too precious to be wasted, and he asked him : "What worries you my little one, I know it's not this army, so what is it ?"

Basile heaved a resigned sigh and said to him : "I can feel that she is becoming more and more powerful, the seals which hold her prisoner will not hold for long we need to hurry."

Basile put his arms behind his neck and said to him : "With Gabin, we haven't made these magic pills for nothing, the luminous ones are for the humans, the magic beasts and the mystical creatures, the black ones are for everyone who have a demonic energy, it will make you stronger, take it."

Basile said to him again : "You will not be able to prevent her from breaking the seals a second time, she is coming.

Tell my mother that she only has a few days to reach level twelve, only then will she be able to fully use her powers and protect us."

Aiden caressed his cheek and said to appease him : "Don't worry, we'll have the seven golden dragon hearts in our possession soon, Anaya would be able to fight against this demon god."

Basile shook his head and put his hand on the one Aiden had placed on his cheek, he said to him : "You have to get the last one before she breaks her seals, and Anaya power won't be enough to killed this demon god but I have a plan though, it is just not the right time yet to talk about it."

Seeing that Aiden understood the situation and trusted him made him feel happy, he said to him, because the time he could stay here with Aiden was running out : "My love, don't bother with this army, I will take care of it myself, but I want a reward this time."

Aiden kissed his forehead and asked : "What do you want as a reward my little one ?"

Basile then said to him : "I want more, a lot more than what you just gave me."

Aiden didn't have time to ask him what he meant, that Basile was already crushing his lips against his.

Basile did not only kiss him, he passed through his lips and began to play with his tongue, Aiden mouth was ravaged by this assault and he really enjoyed it.

Basile pressed his body against his and when Aiden grabbed his buttocks to press him even harder against his body he bit his lower lip a little too violently.

And just at that moment, Aiden came back to reality, he was again with a two year old Basile in his arms, even though he could still feel Basile body pressed against his, 'what a fuc*ing frustration !'

He ran his tongue over the cut Basile had just made on his lower lip and he heard his brother laugh, Caleb told him : "Celia is going to kill you this time, you should tell Basile to be careful where he bites you next time."

Aiden had completely forgotten Celia, in fact he had forgotten everything except this passionate exchange he had just had with the man of his life, as Caleb just said he was so dead this time, it was time to come back to reality.

He asked Caleb : "How much time has passed ?"

Caleb replied : "A few seconds that's all, what did he say to you ?"

Aiden answered him seriously, even though he still couldn't get rid of the smile from his face : "He said he was going to take care of this army by himself and that we needed to focus on more important things."

Caleb asked him surprised : "What things was he talking about ?"

Aiden's smile finally faded from his face when he thought back to the conversation he had had with Basile, he replied to his brother : "The seals which hold the demon god prisoner will break soon, she is coming."

Caleb didn't expect this revelation, Aiden continued : "He told me that we need to get the last golden dragon heart before the seals break, so after this battle I'll let you deal with the demons, I have to stay with the girls to protect them and help them as best I can."

Caleb understood this feeling perfectly, he too would have preferred to stay with the girls until the end but things rushed and with Daniel they had to return to Inferno.

He said to Aiden : "Don't worry about the demons, I'll take care of them, protect the girls and our little brother, that's all that matters."

A group of demons had finally decided to come to meet them.

They all had arrogant smiles on their faces, Aiden was getting fed up with always being underestimated so he whispered in Basile's ear, "My little one, make them suffer, they're too arrogant."

Basile's eyes turned black in an instant and Caleb who had just felt this change quickly said to these demons : "I will only make this offer once, so think about it, come with me to Inferno and submit to our demon god."

He paused and showed Basile who already had his black eyes but still contained his energy and said : "Or else, you will be exterminated by him."

Even after having seen Basile's black eyes, apparently the demons did not take them seriously, they laughed pointing at him and a demon even dared to say : "You really intend to threaten us with the help of a baby."

They laughed harder until Caleb said to them deadly serious : "Not with a baby, with a demon god."

And with these words the army of demons behind them began to scream in terror, the ground under their feet was transforming into quicksand and once the demons were sunk into it up to their knees, the ground hardened again to imprison them.

Of course this was only the first phase, the group of demons that had come towards them and who had mocked Basile had returned to the others and tried to get them out of there.

But the ground had become harder than stone and no matter how hard they attacked it, they couldn't free the other demons.

Aiden said loudly to make sure he was heard : "You should come back here when you still can, you were the ones who have condemned them, now you're going to watch them all die by your fault."

The ground all around the demon army changed color and turned black.

Black flames as large as the demons appeared from all over and began to torture the demons.

The demons that were hit by the flames screamed in pain and the others who could only watched them helplessly screamed in terror, begging them to save them.

Aiden then whispered in Basile's ear : "My little one, don't kill them, just let them test a little of your power, I'm taking care of those who dared to laugh at you, look at me killing them for you."
